VANCOUVER – She was only nine, but Almira Bardai remembers the day the Aga Khan came to dinner at her mother’s family home. She didn’t get to join the 200 or so guests, but she knew the importance of seeing the spiritual Ismaili Muslim leader.
“It was really, really special,” Bardai said Tuesday. “I was really young but you understood that you were there in the presence of the Aga Khan. It was pretty amazing.”
On Tuesday afternoon, Bardai, now 31, joined tens of thousands of men in dark suits and women in colourful saris and cocktail dresses at BC Place to celebrate a visit by the Aga Khan.
